Exporting Quark to Adobe - not sending spread

[james23f]

My service bureau can't handle my version of quark, which only saves as far back as 4.0. They have 3.3.

To get arounf this, we're exporting to a flipped, negative PDF file.

Our problem is two-fold.

One, when we export to PDF through Distiller, we get individual pages. It's not sending the pages as spreads. I'll explain.

The document is eight pages. Each page is size A4, which means that we print to a page double that size and fold the paper in the middle. Voila, the publication is A4 when closed.

Now that we´re exporting to Acrobat, we wind up with individual pages, instead of a side-by-side spread. When that happens, the service bureau can't film the entire spread to make the plate.

Problem two, I have all the settings for the page sizes in both Quark and Adobe set to the right size, but when the file exports, it winds up 8 and half by 11, instead of 8.268 by 11.693.

If anyone can help, I would be very obliged.

Thanks

Get a plug-in called 'Quite Imposing' for Adobe Acrobat Writer and your problems will be solved... it saved me from going mad.

'Quite Imposing' works by combining pages onto larger sheets to make books, booklets, or special arrangements.

Good luck
